Program Description:

The incidence of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders has increased dramatically over the last decade, and continues to rise. Researchers estimate that presently 1.1 percent , or 1 in 91 children, are diagnosed with ASD. Consequently, there is a critical shortage of professionals trained and certified in appropriate assessments and treatments for autism. Seton Hill offers a Professional Certificate in Autism Spectrum Disorders for those who wish to educate children with ASD.
The graduate Professional Autism Certificate is offered online. Teacher certification is not a requirement for admission to this program. These courses can be applied to Seton Hill's Master of Arts Degree in Special Education or Inclusive Education.
